In most cases, wildlife diseases do not affect people. However, there are a few exceptions. Rabies epidemics are uncommon, but are a serious concern. Tularemia, occasionally found in rabbits, beavers, and other animals, is another health concern. One animal disease that has captured a lot of attention lately is Chronic Wasting Disease or CWD. There is no evidence that CWD can spread from game animals to humans, but cautious hunters will want to learn more about it.
